hookerbruce Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Just back from Weipa Was a different trip this year as no bait schools or pelagics. Made up for it with barra jacks and reef fish. I caught over 30 barra about a third legal best 70 cm Similar number of jacks.Queen fish to a meter were common and the reef fish joined in for some tasty meals. Fished the beaches a lot as sheltered from the wind even found a couple of nice muddies up in the shallows just a few photos 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Good to see that you had a successful trip. Like Scratchie it would appear on my bucket list too, though highly unlikely to happen. Lots of other things to achieve too. Cheers, bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbdshroom Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Nice one mate. It looks like you did well with a nice bag of fish. I did hear about the absence of pelagics lately. Were you able to find any black jews or GTs? I assume you went south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyFil Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hi Bruce I was there last week and we couldn't find the barra. We gave Red Cliffs a very thorough go both ends of the beach but didn't get a touch. Where did you find them and the jacks? We caught plenty of good sized queenies and trevally (diamond, golden and small GTs) in Triluck on the run out and a good flowery cod at Westminster but also noticed the lack of tuna and spanish.

hookerbruce Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Those of you who want to go to Weipa it is doable for six people it costs just under $1500 each for a week plus airfare plus your alcohol. We found the action in Triluck was great lots of queenies all types of trevally plus a few barra and jacks Normon fished well for jacks l landed 15 one day plus big queenies and some barra. Just outside norman near the rock island we got a 5kg gt Edited May 15, 2018 by hookerbruce 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
